Renaming Configuration Files
To rename an existing configuration file in your system, use the following command:
mv <old-name> <new-name>
Where the following is true:
• old-name—Specifies the current name of the configuration file
• new-name—Specifies the new name of the configuration file
If you rename a configuration file, make sure the new filename has the same .cfg extension.
Deleting Configuration Files
To delete a configuration file from your system, use the following command:
rm <file-name>
Where file-name specifies the name of the configuration file to delete.
After you delete a file from the system, it is no longer available.
Using TFTP to Download the Configuration
You can download previously saved XML formatted XOS configuration files from a TFTP host to the
switch to modify the switch configuration. To download the configuration, use the following command:
tftp [<host-name> | <ip_address>] -g -r <remote_file>
Where the following is true:
• host-name—Is the host name of the TFTP server
• ip_address—Is the IP address of the TFTP server
• -g—Gets the specified file from the TFTP server and copies it to the local host
• -r <remote_file>—Specifies the name of the configuration file that you want to retrieve from the
TFTP server
If you download a configuration file and see the following message:
Error: Transfer timed out
Check to make sure that you entered the filename correctly, including the .cfg extension, and that you
entered the correct host name or IP address for the TFTP server.
Configurations are downloaded and saved into the switch nonvolatile memory. The configuration is
applied after you reboot the switch.
